it's Imke's turn to choose the challenge and she's saying "Sea It!" which means she wants to see things to do with the sea. Lots of stuff to pick from!
This is what I did.....
Okay, so it's more sea adjacent, than actual sea. Not a big fan of the sea/beach. Anakin Skywalker was right. (Though George Lucas certainly wasn't. Geez.) I also took liberties with the Father's in Father's Day. Turns out my Dymo label maker does not have an apostrophe. Figured the ^ was close enough. Although I would like to take a moment to be ticked over the fact that my labeller has a ^ but no '. I mean really, people could go their whole lives without ever needing a caret on a label. Can't say the same thing about an apostrophe. What I should have done was gotten all indignant and made the sentiment "Happy Day of the Father". And then I could have said, "Take that Dymo, you ridiculous apostrophe hater". But I'm thinking the humour of the sentiment would have been lost of everyone but me. Digi is from Pernilla Nilsson.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the fantastic projects the other Girlfriends have created.

ReplyDeleteGreat card! I love the bookpaper background and the lighthouse image! Thank you for joining our Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers. x
ReplyDeleteOh Jan, you so cracked me up with this!!! And I agree with the label, who the heck needs a caret?! Still, the card turned out great. I love the image colored on the printed paper; that's a wonderful vintage look. I like, too, the striped vertical background paper, perfect for elongating the look of the lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteThat Mark is called a caret?!I never knew that - and I'm an English teacher! I love how you stamped on book paper = the colouring looks subtle and just slightly vintage - gorgeous.Thanks for joining The Library
